Schizophrenia may be rare, but when it is encountered, it is usually diagnosed to multiple people in the same family. It can skip generations. My grandmother was schizophrenic, my mother was not, and I am. Sometimes it is seen in multiple people in a family from the same generation, sometimes it isn't even diagnosed to anyone from a certain generation.

How do you know if you have a predisposition of Schizophrenia?

You may have a predisposition towards schizophrenia if someone in your close family has or had schizophrenia, if you are a fantasy-prone person, if you do not have much need for a social life, or if you often find yourself believing in strange or fantastical things. Keep in mind that these factors do not mean that you will develop schizophrenia; they just mean that you may be more likely to develop schizophrenia than others.


How does a family member notice paranoid schizophrenia?

When a person is suffering from schizophrenia a family member might notice irrational comments in conversation, such as references to a person who does not exist or descriptions of events that did not happen. Family members can be very helpful in recognizing schizophrenia, because they are likely to have been present at occasions and can confirm whether or not specific events actually happened. Unfortunately, family members may be blamed for things they did not do or say, or asked to verify delusions and hallucinations. Family members can also learn to recognize patterns of behavior that indicate that the patient is not taking medication as prescribed.

The majority of people with schizophrenia have normal karyotypes. If the karyotype is abnormal, it will be a coincidence and not the cause of the schizophrenia.
